User Management

Special Note on Active Directory vs RTA Classic Users

Account Type

Purpose

Active Directory (Web Application)

  • Allows connection to RemoteApp and applies security to database connections and the files on the computer

  • Allows connection to the RTA Web and Mobile applications

RTA Classic User

  • Allows use of the Classic application and enforces security within the RTA application

There are a few variants to this configuration based on how a company administrator has configured the RTA Classic application:

  • RTA Classic security is disabled. In this scenario, once the user authenticates to the RemoteApp, all users connect to the RTA Classic application using the built-in System Classic user.

  • RTA is configured for passthrough authentication. In this scenario, once the user authenticates to the RemoteApp, the RTA application matches the Active Directory username to an RTA Classic username and applies the security settings for that user as specified in the Classic User Management. 

Overview of User Management

Users can be granted access to the Web Application and the Classic application as needed. If only granting access to the Web Application, everything for setting up a user will solely be done in the Web Application.

Managing users to have access to both versions will require a two-step process in order to properly grant a user correct permissions to access the Classic, web and mobile applications. 

Step 1: Create the User in the Web Application using User set up instructions below

Step 2: Create a user in the RTA Classic application as outlined in Creating New RTA Users if needing to grant access to the Classic application as well.

Naming your users: Use the same username for both the Classic and the web application. This will make it easier for the user to remember and allows you to use the SSO passthrough authentication via System Switch 09 under Miscellaneous I.
